Testing methodology and results
I've changed the methodology around a bit. In the past I was simply
loading the power supply up 60, 80 and 100% of it's advertised load.
That's certainly effective as a stress test, but I've found that some
power supplies exhibit wicked side effects when crossloaded with a heavy
+5V load and minimal +12V loads. So we're performing four load tests
60% and up, one crossloaded test, as well as one test with only a load
on the +5VSB and another with no load on the power supply.
